The Book Thief

I finally did it!! I read the Book Thief!

While I wouldn't call this book life-changing, maybe it is for other people. I appreciated the gravitas that the last 70 pages offered, but throughout, I felt there was not a tangible conflict. Because of this, I found myself drawn to listen on an audiobook rather than reading my copy.

However, despite what I feel is a small issue with the book's pacing and plot structure, the prose is more than enough to spark the imagination of readers. I wish I could give this book a 3.5: 3 during the first 480 Pages, 4 during the final 70. Is there a better book that takes place during WW2? NOT THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS
